What's the deal with vampires these days?

I haven't jumped on the vampire bandwagon. I don't have any real interest in Twilight or True Blood or any other vampire show/movie that starts with a T (The Vampire Diaries starts this fall on The CW). But I've liked them for a long time, from the Christopher Lee films to Kolchak to Forever Knight.

Grady Hendrix at Slate says that vampire stories suck (ha ha) now, because it's more about feelings and psychology and vampires having normal lives and very little about the biting of people.

Who's your favorite vampire on TV?

New Amsterdam -- An early look

Posted Feb 11th 2008 11:01AM by Paul Goebel

One thing that always bugs me about shows with a fantastical premise is that they often spend the first episode building up to a climactic reveal of the premise. While the first ten minutes of FOX's new drama New Amsterdam is a barrage of information about new partners, alcoholism and famous acquaintances, the show only hints around at the fact that John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is immortal and has been for a long time. Maybe I'm too cynical but is there anybody who will watch this show and not already know the premise? I've never understood that kind of thinking.

Lifetime orders more episodes of Blood Ties

Lifetime - is it still "television for women?" - has ordered nine more episodes of the Canadian-made horror-romance series Blood Ties. The network will air the last nine episodes of this current order in October (though new episodes continue to air now, Sundays at 10). The big hiatus is so the network can premiere new shows.

How is this show? I watch Entourage at that time, and I always forget to set the TiVo for this. Is it worth it? The premise sounds a bit like Forever Knight, though I know this isn't about a vampire cop but a private eye that gets involved with vampires. Looks more romantic/dramatic than the Geraint Wyn Davies show. Is there action too, and maybe some scares?
